El Muro Vejer restaurant menu

The menu at this restaurant, as with most restaurants of this style, is concise because they specialise in creating carefully prepared dishes, making an extensive menu impractical.

The starters already feature plenty of local produce, such as Retinto beef, along with dishes that may feel familiar but have the restaurant’s own distinctive touch.

Next comes the meat and fish section, featuring high-quality ingredients, many of them local, as you would expect in an area with such a strong food culture.

Finally, the desserts are particularly interesting and eye-catching.

Francisco Doncel is the chef at El Muro restaurant, a local from Vejer who chose to open a restaurant based on traditional cooking with modern concepts, next to the doors of his family home.
